Everyone deserves affordable, accessible health care no matter their income or ZIP code. I’ll fight to lower prescription drug costs, cap insulin prices, expand access to generic drugs and restore funding for rural and suburban hospitals. Health care is a human right and I support a Medicare for All framework.

No one should die from preventable pregnancy complications or be forced to give birth. I’ve led efforts on the county board to fund doula programs and reduce maternal health outcome disparities. I also helped secure millions for reproductive health care access in Illinois. In Congress, my focus will be to codify Roe v. Wade and ensure every woman can make her own health care decisions.

Working families deserve fair wages, affordable housing and relief from crushing costs. I’ll stand with unions, fight to repeal tax breaks for billionaires and support affordable housing investments. I’ve delivered medical debt relief to hundreds of thousands of Cook County residents and will lead similar efforts nationwide.

We can grow our economy while protecting workers and consumers. I’ll support responsible innovation in technology, digital assets and business development that benefits working people and local communities. I will also support the supervised and regulated integration of blockchain technology to modernize and secure sectors such as healthcare, identity verification and finance. I further encourage programs that integrate community banks into the digital stablecoin ecosystem, allowing them opportunities to grow new investments and benefit from increased interest and yield. This integration could in part allow for the expansion of a credit system, building off of ownership of cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
Additionally, we must continue to pursue Artificial Intelligence to ensure the United States remains ahead of the curve in this powerful driver of innovation, economic growth and opportunity while also being a leader in accountability and developing a high standard of AI ethics. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to change our day-to-day lives, which means we need strong and thoughtful federal regulation. In the absence of a robust federal framework, states should be able to regulate AI based on the needs of their communities. We must also advance strict regulation as it pertains to the safety of kids, teens, and vulnerable populations, ensuring chatbots and other AI tools are built with safety top of mind. Export controls on the advanced AI chips are also critical to ensure that AI is developed in America, for the benefit of Americans.
Finally, with the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, we must prioritize working people and their employment. AI groups should work hand in hand with labor leaders to ensure the work force and our economy handles AI integration to the benefit of working class Americans, not just corporations and billionaires. Organizations must also be required to disclose pertinent information as it relates to data centers, their environment and community impact, and job opportunities before being allowed to open and operate in communities. While prioritizing working people, data centers should provide ample job training for local workers, rather than outsourcing jobs and leaving our communities out of the fold.

I’ve sponsored over $100 million in sustainability and renewable energy investments in Cook County and will continue fighting for clean air, safe water and resilient infrastructure to protect future generations. In Congress, I will support rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement and ensuring the United States is at the forefront of environmental justice, climate responsibility and sustainability.

Farmers are on the front lines of President Donald Trump’s trade war and small family farms like those across Illinois are being hit the hardest by Republican tariffs. I’ll fight for fair trade policies, smart technology investments in agriculture and economic relief that strengthens rural communities, not bail out multibillion dollar conglomerates.

I support a swift and humane path to citizenship for migrants, due process for all and accountability for agencies that violate civil rights. We must end racial profiling and ensure immigration enforcement upholds our Constitution and our values. The current administration and federal agents’ blatant disregard for due process and constitutional rights is wrong and in Congress I will hold them accountable for their actions.

I’ve supported millions of dollars in violence prevention and helped launch Cook County’s first Restorative Justice Community Court. I’ll continue to support police-community partnerships built on trust, accountability and safety for every family. No one should lose a loved one to gun violence. In Congress, I will partner with anyone that is willing to take on the National Rifle Association and the gun lobby to pass common sense gun laws and work to provide mental health care access to ensure our children, schools and communities are safe.

Our democracy only survives if we defend it and I’ll always stand up for the Constitution and free and fair elections. I’ll fight to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, protect fair elections, and expand voter access through automatic and same-day registration. The attacks on our democratic institutions, the rule of law and our system of checks and balances cannot go unanswered.

As chair of the Cook County Veterans Committee, I’ve expanded funding and services for local veterans. In Congress, I’ll protect benefits, strengthen the Veterans Administration and ensure every veteran receives the care and respect they’ve earned.

I’ll defend Social Security and expand Medicare and Medicaid so every senior can retire with dignity. I’ll also strengthen protections against elder abuse and ensure our aging population receives the dignified treatment they deserve.
